TTC After a Loss

Don't think I will ever have another rainbow baby ( DS mentioned)

So I havent posted in awhile- but I certainly have been lurking.... Not having a great night- tonight I feel like I will never have another rainbow baby--- Its just such a strong feeling tonight.... I guess maybe because 12 months ago is when we started this journey to give DS a sibling... and now 12 months and 3 miscarriages later we are back at square one.... and I feel so negative about it.... I just have such a strong feeling that I cant shake... It almost makes me want to pull back and go back to TTA until that feeling leaves.... maybe I am not ready to TTC.... I dont know- at the same time- I dont feel  my family is complete.... Ugh- why is this whole process such utter hell....

  • I am so very sorry. I too am having that inner struggle with giving DD a sibling. It's hard, and nighttime never makes it easier. Hang in there ((HUGS))

  • :( So sorry you're having a rough night ((HUGS))

  • I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I am in the same place right now. I don't really feel like our family is complete but I'm not entirely sure how much more heartache I can take. We have been TTA since my D&C 6 months ago. It seemed so much easier to sort of "move on" and try again with the first two losses.

    Hang in there. I hope you find peace in your life, whatever you decide.

  • I'm so sorry you're hurting and for all you've been through. (((HUGS))))

  • I think many of us can empathize.  I am terrified, terrified, of never becoming a mother.  I'm sorry you are feeling similar fear.  It is suffocating.  I wish there was something I could say to help. but I haven't figured it out myself yet.  ((((HUGS))))

  • I am so sorry. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am 5 losses in a row and almost 2 years in. I just keep looking at DS and telling myself he NEEDS a sibling and it keeps me going. ((HUGS))

  • (Big hugs) I'm sorry you are having a hard time right now.
  • I feel the same way all the time.  It breaks my heart when I see my DD play with other babies. I feel like a failure for not being able to give her a sibling.  As each month goes by I lose hope that it will ever happen. 

  • I'm so sorry you are struggling right now.  T&Ps going out to you.  *hugs*
